Siesta Key Distiller's Reserve: Fall Cocktail Time

     Autumn has arrived and the chill is already being felt in the northern sections of the globe.  It is time for some of falls wonderful flavors like cinnamon and apple cider.

    I just received a wonderful Distiller's Reserve Siesta Key Rum that has been calling me to create a new fall cocktail.  The rum is absolutely wonderful and so flavorful on it's own, but when mixed with the flavors of fall it becomes a new fall standard cocktail.


Color Season Apple Cider

  • ·         2 oz. Siesta Key Distiller's Reserve Spiced Rum
  • ·         2 oz. Apple Cider
  • ·         ½  oz. Amaretto
  • ·         Juice of ½ Lemon
  • ·         Fresh Ground Cinnamon
  • ·         Cinnamon Stick 
       Place all ingredients except the cinnamon in a shaker filled with ice
and shake until chilled.  Strain into a cocktail glass and grind cinnamon
on to the top of the cocktail and lay a cinnamon stick in the glass as a
garnish.
 
     Try this wonderful, although hard to find rum and you will really enjoy it neat, on the rocks or mixed in your favorite fall cocktails.    This one is a real winner and I hope you can find it for your
fall consumption.  If you can not find the distiller's reserve the standard Siesta Key Spiced
Rum is the only substitute for the Color Season Cocktail.  ;o)
